Gonna ask my homie, Seez Mics, if he was able to go. I know he mentioned it the last time I saw him out and about.battlecatmeowstab212 wrote:Was anyone able to make it to the dedication ceremony last weekend? Not too much video from it has surfaced online yet, but from all accounts it sounds like it was pretty incredible.
I wasn't able to make it, so instead I made this -

Vordul and Eyedea Interview
by Gentle Jones
originally published in Tric Magazine December 2001
i recently attended the def jux/ rhymesayers instore at armanגs in philly and met with mr lif, vast, vordul megallah, and eyedea. they hung out for about an hour and had a blazing 20 minute or so freestyle performance. during the instore I had an opportunity to meet with them.
vordul magallah of cannibal ox, considered by some to be a fresh upcoming talent on definitive jux, was mellow mannered with a friendly demeanor.
gentle jones: whats your current favorite rap record?
vordul: that new 2pac, its so full of emotion.
gj: how do you feel when you hear "the cold vein"?
v: man, its wild, its like you can hear the progression, theres so much little type effects on the vocals and subtle sounds in the background, you really have to concentrate. its some headnod type shit.
gj: how many other producers have you worked with?
v: just el-p and cryptic
gj: you cats just did a show over seas?
v: yeah we went to japan. when we were there they had these bath houses where they said you could get a massage but really they took in the back and ... youknow.
gj: so did yall get some massages?
v: (laughs) nah nah, but it was tempting...
gj: how did you get into emceeing?
v: well I started out just drawing, and vast got me into rhyming, and after about 1 year I got serious into it.
gj: how long you known vast?
v: 10 years
gj: and your home is in?
v: uptown harlem. I moved to tampa, florida for a while to try to get out of the city. away from the wildness.
gj: its a little wild in tampa too
v: (laughs) yeah I found out
gj: so whats next for defjux
v: mad more material. see when all these charecters, beasts, and creatures come together, you know somethings gotta happen...
after chatting with vordul i sauntered over the the spot where eyedea was posted, smack in the center of the shop.
eyedea is gaining world recognition for his work with his crew and astounding freestyle battle techniques, which won him first place in the HBO blazes battles. as I walked up to eyedea, he was explaining to some teenagers that there was an invisible devil on his shoulder that whispered topics in his ear for when he freestyles...
gj: whats new, eyedea?
eyedea: jay and silent bob's movie. its a classic. go see it.
gj: are you looking forward to the lord of the rings?
e: I saw the trailer but I am not reallyinto that whole fantasy world thing. dj abilities was really into it for years, dungeons and dragons and all that. him and these dudes would sit around and roleplay and get trashed all night.
gj: and what about music, what are you into right now?
e: earth wind and fire, baby
gj: whose your favorite rapper rightnow?
e: eyedea
gj: (laughs)
e: nah man for real I think most rappers like their shit the best. everyone is on there own tip. jay z in on his stuff, canox got there own type thing, you know and I have my thing... its when you love what you do.
gj: so do you roll around town bumping your own album?
e: yes. but not like "yo everybody listen to this" what I do is study and analyze it until I am disgusted with it. thats what drives me to progress.
gj: how you feel about battling?
e: OK let me put it down for you right now. I have battled at blaze, rocksteady, scribble, all that plus everywhere I go I battle dudes all day, but now I want to put that behind me... because when you battle you only have one goal, either to dis your opponent harsh or to make yourself look good, and the path to that goal is a straight line. nowadays when I freestyle, I don't want to move in a straight line, I just want to reach in myself and go any direction it takes me. its limiting.
gj: what do you think of the internet?
e: its wack. its all these kids gossiping and arguing, and its crazy because when I talk shit with my friends, its all like I am trying to make them laugh, but these cats on the internet they fight and cuss you and they're are all serious like "I hope you die motherfucker!" I never post but I read what they say about me. they all hate me.
gj: nah dude they love you, eyedea.
e: no, their girlfriends love me. thats why they all hate me.
gj: (laughs)
e: hey man, make me look cool in the interview OK?
gj: you are cool, eyedea. peace.

On twitter Aesop just shared this alternate version of what became Bent Life (from Labor Days) with him, Slug and Eyedea. I can see why it didn't work for that album, but it's still enjoyable.
